hailstones pattering
fingers trying to keep pace
dance over the keys
hailstones pattering
fingers trying to keep pace
dance over the keys
for a moment I
hold my hand to the windshield
to watch the ice melt
skulking in the dark
at the edge of consciousness
some forgotten thing
how welcome the dawn
routing the darkest shadows
of a sleepless night
a halted journey
winter’s sorrowful tears fall
water on the track
deep concentration
he sets out panels, nuts, bolts
all in their right place
with time on his hands
he builds an old iron train
for his next journey
an old photograph
of our long departed cat
sniffing a flower
first light this morning
flows in like molten silver
a distant bell chimes
Sky modestly stoops
screened behind a veil of mist
gives Earth a soft kiss
I dream so I write ..
“Wings are an illusive notion. Some may possess them, but they are not very visible, and as for me, there isn’t the least sign of a feather.” -Amy Carmichael
